Women & Body Image

Long, thin, sleek, and slender bodies consume all the latest, and trendy,

fashion and beauty magazine. Those flawless goddesses are virtually

perfect! The blessed glamour queens dazzle the eye with their style and

beauty, and trick the average female that they are not perfect.

Most of those super-skinny models in the popular fashion magazines weigh

approximately 25% less than the average woman! Also, many don't reveal

their secret life of an eating disorder to stay under weight to keep a job.

They also look much different in real life, as opposed to their touched-up

photos with the added make-up and structured lighting.

But society is telling us that the perfect woman should be underweight, with

the perfect hair and face. This is what drives many women to eating

disorders and low self-esteem.

All ladies have a variety of body shapes and sizes and no one should

compare themselves to the next. Also, no one should compare

themselves to the 'unnatural' model since it is unhealthy and unreal - aim for a fit and strong body, perhaps not as 'ripped' as this competition body builder but a strong, fitter version of your wonderful self!
